Storm Data & Unusual Weather Phenomenon

This dashbord shows the occurence of stroms by number and area year over year. I have taken the data from the NCDC website and the data is downloaded using Rnoaa package. We are given the storm data from 2010 to 2014 across the world. I have tried to visualise how occurence of storms have changed over time and area over a given time period.

Questions from the dashboard:

First, I want to observe how number of storms in each basin vary.

Secondly, I want to know the usual wind speeds and pressure in different basins.

Thirdly, I also want to look at spatial plots of storms per year across different basins.

Fourthly, I want to see if there is any seasonal trend for the storms.

Spatial Visualization of Storms and wind speed

Here I plotted year wise storm data with wind speed.

By Looking at spatial distribution by year gives us a clear picture of storms by year

Seasonal Storm Analysis

The three regions with the higest number of storms are : North America Region Western Pacific region Eastern Pacific region

We plot the month wise paths of storms as this would give us an idea as in which season and which area is prone to storms.
